This coming weekend the Harvard Summer School welcomes 5,000 students from all over the world to its programs. Two thousand of these students will be moving into Harvard dorms and houses on Saturday and Sunday, with the remaining commuting students checking-in on both this weekend and into next week to finalize registration.

 The Harvard Square Business Association extends a warm welcome to these visiting students, who will be here for seven weeks. They (and their families this weekend) are eager to learn about Harvard Square and explore its many shops and restaurants. Each of these students will have a Harvard Summer School ID card, and many HSBA members offer student discounts.  Students will be encouraged  to watch for special deals and offers, not only this weekend, but throughout their stay!

 Equally important, from August 6 through 11, these students will be moving out of their dormitories as Harvard Summer School comes to an end. We expect this week to be busy as well, as parents return to the Square to pick up their students!
